 My Video - I created a montage   to the instrumentals of the song 'shy away' which sounds quite upbeat and happy. This song is parallel to the first portion of photos of a happy childhood but then the video switches to the imagery of a graveyard which is contrapuntal to the music.

1) -Top lighting - Low-key lighting - The subject is mostly in shadow which creates enigma codes and the lighting emphasises the smoke in front of her which connotes to mystery. 2) - Top lighting - Low-key lighting - The low-key lighting puts emphasis on her face and creates a sense of elegance. 3) - Top and back lighting - Mostly high-key but around his face low-key  lighting - The harsh shadows on face emphasise furrowed brows and stern expression. 4) - Back lighting - Low-key lighting - The lighting makes the character look like a  silhouette and makes him seem important and mysterious. 5) - Back lighting - Low-key lighting - The lighting from the blinds creates a tone of secrecy surrounding their romance. 6) - Top lighting - Low-key lighting - Half of the subject is covered in shadow which could represent a conflict. 7) - Top lighting - High-key lighting - The lighting coming from above and their hands positioned in a prayer pose creates religious imagery. 8) - Back l...

1 ) WWW:Audio editing(phone, caller),  Cinematography  (close-up on phone), good performance, good location, video editing.

There was backlash against the art style change/ character design changes because She-ra desexualised the chatter from the 80's and mostly older males were dissatisfied with the change. Also the animation and 'CalArts' style was negatively commented on for the more simple designs but this was done for easier to animate characters and to appeal to younger audiences. What sets She-ra apart from a lot of animation especially at the time was its heavy queer representation and focus which was also critisied by people who are politically right leaning.
